EXCERPT
Check device selection, power, cable, supported connection, and application state before trying recovery or reset.

Symptoms
DarkBeacon AI displays no device, the wrong device, an unsupported state, or repeated disconnect and reconnect messages.
Applies to
Use this guide before attempting a reset, firmware update, or device recovery when a supported keyboard is missing or unstable in DarkBeacon AI.
Low-risk checks
-
Confirm that the keyboard model is supported by DarkBeacon AI.
-
If several devices are displayed, confirm that you selected the correct device card.
-
Save work in other applications and close DarkBeacon AI.
-
Reconnect the keyboard once using a known data-capable USB cable connected directly to the computer.
-
Avoid unpowered USB hubs, docking stations, adapters, and extension cables during testing.
-
Try one other known data-capable USB port and allow a complete detection cycle.
-
If you normally use Bluetooth or 2.4 GHz wireless, return to a direct USB connection first.
-
After USB detection is stable, confirm that you are using the correct Bluetooth slot or matching 2.4 GHz receiver.
-
Reopen DarkBeacon AI and check for a clear operating-system permission, driver, firmware, or application-update prompt.
-
If the device repeatedly disconnects, keep the keyboard and cable still and note whether movement, sleep, connection-mode switching, or a specific software page triggers the problem.
Recovery steps
Restart DarkBeacon AI once.
If the operating system also cannot detect the keyboard, restart the computer once and reconnect through direct USB.
Use device recovery only when DarkBeacon AI explicitly recognizes a recovery state for the exact connected model.
Stop conditions
Stop reconnecting the keyboard if the device or cable becomes hot, produces an unusual smell, shows visible damage, or disconnects during a firmware update.
Do not factory-reset a device that cannot maintain stable power or USB communication.
